WALTER JAY ENNISSON, OF HARTFEEIEONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR To THORNE TYPESETTING MACHINE NEW JERSEY.

COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF I TYPE-'JUISTIFYING MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

' Patented Feb; 19, 1907.

Application filed August 3, 1898. I Serial No. 687,639.

To all whom/it may concern: I

Be it known that I, WALTER J AY ENNISSON, a citizen of the United Statesof America, and a resident of Hartford,rin the county of Hartford andState of Connecticut, have invented certain new. and useful I mrovements in Type-Justifying Machines, which the following is aspecification.

granted jointly to myself and William Honiss. Many of the fundamentalprinciples of that machine are embodied in the present machinemechanism, some of which "is improved in form and arrangement, so as tobetter adapt it to its work. Some of the present devices, analogous tothose of the machine-ofthe patent above referred to, are

improved by rearrangement, so as to com. bine' them to better advantageor to secure reater simplicity. or directness-10f action.

till other portions of the. machine herein shown are entirely newdevices, some ofwhich are substituted for ,devices which in the machineof thepatent abo'vereferred to performed the same or similar fnnctions,

while others-of those new devices are adapted to perform functions notcontemplated at all in themachine of the patent above referred tojOtherfeatures which in substantially equivalent forms are common to bothmachines ar'e'of my sole invention. Among these are the measuring-beamor justifyinglever for operating uponia composed line to ascertain itsshortage and provided with means for pivotally supporting the beam atdiflerent fulcrum-points in accordance with the number of spaces in theline whereby the aforesaid shortage is dividedinto that number ofspaces, also the devices which engage withthe composed line formeasuring and ascertaining the shortage thereof, consisting of a j aworabutment movable. transversely to the type-channeland arranged to be temand with a sliding head movable in the direction of the channel andadapted to compact p' orarily interposed in' the path of the type,

the type against the set jaw or abutment,

also the system of basic and. fractional spaces to form justifyingcombinations.

1 The objects of this invention are in general i to provide improveddevices for use in justifying mechanisms and foo-embody these de vicesin an efiicient and'rapid type just' 'ng machine and,as compared withthe mac ine of the above-mentioned patent, to provide a moreperfectly-organized machine in which,

the devices'and their respective functions shall be so-.comb ined andcorrelated as to' re duce the number'of operating parts, simplify theirconstruction and mode of operation, reduce to a minimum the loss of time'between the operations on successive lines, and to soorgamze-andcombine devices having similar or closely-related functionsas to enon a able them to be operated and controlled direct andcomprehensive plan.

Among the more specific objects of the invention may be mentioned thefollowing; first, to hold each succeeding line in a waiting positionclose to the measuring zone, so as to follow its predecessor with theleast possible loss of time; second, to so arrange the devices, andparticularly those of them which perform the initiato'r'y functions ofmeasur-- ing,gaging,'.and setting, as to permit them after operatingupon agiv'en line to .be released therefrom foroperation upon thesucceeding line instead of requiring them to remain idle throughout thecompletion of each current line; third, to provide a simplified andimproved setting-gage, stop, and selector-setting device, comprising 1nthe present instance only three elements, two of which may be integrallyunited u'nder'certain designated conditions; fourth,'to emplo aconstantly-running Word mechanism Wit means for stopping the operationof the spacer-selecting devices at-the necessary intervals between thelines. j

'- Numerous other and minor objects are hereinafter. more fullydisclosed 'in connection with the description of the devices wherebythey are attained.

This machine, like that of the above-men tione'd patent, isprimarilyintended for use
